Chapter 333
Ah Hui Lusu spoke so impassionedly, it was hard to believe that he really had old grievances with Cui Che for many years.

Of course, now is not the time to delve into this issue.

Since someone took the lead, take the lead in expressing loyalty.

The rest, such as Du Su Liu and the chiefs of the Eight Khitan tribes, rushed to express their loyalty to Cui Che and made oaths in public.

Cui Che had long since lost his drunkenness, and with a bright smile on his face, he raised his glass and said:
"Okay! With everyone's full support, Cui will destroy Goguryeo sooner or later.

"Drink this cup first today, and drink with you in Pyongyang in the future!"

The banquet was re-opened, the wine was mixed, and the excitement came. Cui Che even played the Hujia by himself, and everyone sang and danced, pushing the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax.

At the same time, in Pyongyang, Gao Yuan, the king of Goguryeo, was very irritable.

Gao Yuan has now received accurate information. In this battle, the Kumoxi, Khitan, and Turkic forces all mobilized their entire clan. In addition, Cui Che mobilized elite soldiers from Yandi himself. The army for the Eastern Expedition will not be less than 30. , which made him restless.

Five years ago, only a wave of 30 Sui invasions were repelled. In the offensive and defensive battle of Liaodong City, Goguryeo also suffered a lot of losses. After finally taking a breath, the emperor of the Sui Dynasty sent another 30 people.

Killing one thousand enemies means self-defeating eight hundred. Even if the Goguryeo people were able to repel the Sui army, even if the Sui army had no worries about logistics, they would suffer heavy losses themselves.

But unlike before, this is a Hu-Han coalition army, and the Hu people are the main force. Regardless of victory or defeat, as long as Youzhou Jingqi does not suffer a devastating blow, it will not cause too much damage to the Sui Dynasty's own strength. loss.

"When I ask you for advice, it is all about strengthening the walls and clearing the field, defending to resist, and waiting for the enemy to retreat.

"You know! Although Cui Che comes from a famous family in Hebei, he fights like a barbarian on the grassland.

"When marching and fighting, they will always drive the livestock. How can we expect him to be like Gao Jiong, who will collapse without food."

Gao Yuan's chest rose and fell, and the incompetence of the officials made him very indignant. There are so many people who usually talk freely, but now when the country is in crisis, there is no one who is useful.

All the ministers confessed their crimes one after another, and turned their attention to Mo Lizhi, the Prime Minister Yuan Ziyou.

Yuan Ziyou also sighed helplessly, if he did not defend the city, he would have to fight the Sui army in a field battle. These days, anyone who fought Cui Che in a field battle was not a disastrous defeat.

But who let himself be the prime minister? Yuan Ziyou sighed secretly, and said:
"Your Majesty, I think it's better to send envoys to the west to plead guilty to the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, or to turn hostility into jade."

All the officials agreed one after another, and no one wanted to fight the Sui people again.

But Gao Yuan said coldly:
"Do you want me to be that Liaodong scumbag again!"

Gao Yuan felt very humiliated, he had already given up his self-esteem, the majestic king of Goguryeo, and even called himself a dung official, why Yang Jian still refused to give up.

In fact, if Cui Che hadn't proposed to use Hu to control Hu and drive Kumoxi and Khitan to attack Goguryeo, Yang Jian would really not have pursued it after winning back his face.

No matter how powerful the Sui Dynasty was, it would be too much to suffer such fiascos.

Seeing Yuan Ziyou repeatedly pleading guilty, Gao Yuan sighed and said helplessly:
"Even if I am willing to bow my head, the Sui people have been preparing for so long, but they are on the verge of death and have no choice but to attack. Then how could Yang Jian stop fighting?"

Just when everyone was at a loss, Ulji Wende said:
"Your Majesty, I think that it is feasible to divorce."

A minister sarcastically said:

"Xi people and Khitan people are afraid of Cui Che. Seeing him is like seeing a tiger. Sowing dissension is easy to say. It depends on whether the other party has the courage."

Ulji Mundeok is not from Goguryeo, he is only a minister of Gao Yuan's hidden residence, so he can occupy a high position. In addition, he has lost the battle against Cui Che before, so many ministers are dissatisfied with him.

But even Gao Yuan felt that what the minister said made sense, and this Ulji Moon Deok simply came up with random ideas.

But Ulji Wende laughed and said:

"When did I say that I wanted to provoke Cui Che's relationship with the Xi Clan and the Khitan?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, Gao Yuan was curious and urged:
"Speak quickly."

Ulchi Wendeok talked eloquently:
"The emperor of the Sui Dynasty is the master of all guesses. Since the founding of the country, there have been countless heroes and generals who have been wronged and died.

"Now that Cui Che's followers are all over Yandi, and all ethnic groups in Monan bow to him, if the king is the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, can he turn a blind eye?

"It's about the throne, even my own son can't be trusted, let alone a son-in-law.

"I was already suspicious. If prophecies were spread in the country, claiming that 'the land of Yan has a king's spirit' and that 'the Cui family is the son of heaven', even if Yang Jian could not be induced to kill Cui Che, he would definitely be recruited back. North Korea, in this way, can solve the country's crisis."

Gao Yuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said in his heart:
'Sure enough, Ulji Mundeok lost to Cui Che, not because he was incompetent, but because Cui Che was too cunning. '

There is no need to put yourself in another position, Gao Yuan himself is also the lord of a country. If Goguryeo had Cui Che as a frontier general with a strong army and a good relationship with foreigners, if there were some prophecy to fuel the flames and intensify the conflict, he himself would have a murderous intention. .

Not only Gao Yuan, but also the ministers present praised him one after another.

But here comes the question again, how to spread the prophecy in the Sui Dynasty, you must know that Goguryeo and the Sui Dynasty are not good-neighborly and friendly relations, and since the fifth year of Kaihuang, the Sui Dynasty has been implementing the "Law of Losing Nationality". Dasuo Maangyue will mark the appearance characteristics of the people on the household registration.

If Goguryeo wanted to arrange detailed work, it would be extremely difficult.

Facing Gao Yuan's doubts, Ulji Wendeok said with a smile:

"Didn't Mo Lizhi just say that he wanted to send a mission to the Sui Dynasty and asked the Emperor of Sui to stop his troops?"

Everyone suddenly realized that the envoy had to go through half of the Sui Kingdom on the way to Guanzhong, and there were plenty of opportunities to spread prophecy.

Gao Yuan was delighted and praised:
"The only one who can get rid of Cui Cheol, my confidant, is Ulji Moondeok."

Although these remarks caused Ulji Wendeok to be hated by many ministers, it also proved to him that after the defeat of Xiliaohe, Ulji Wendeok, his confidant, was often criticized, and he was almost labeled as a man of great ambition and talent. Label.

Gao Yuan immediately formed a huge mission of more than [-] people and went to Daxing to seek peace.

At the same time, Dulan Khan, who had gone fishing in Lake Baikal, was also full of doubts.

Now that Yang Su is gathering troops in Yunzhou, of course Dulan Khan dare not stay in Duluoshui, for fear that Yang Su will attack Datou Khan, and he will take care of himself by the way.

His doubt was that Cui Che clearly had an objection in his heart, why he refused to transfer troops from the country and let them spend on the Liaodong battlefield, instead he wanted to drive Kumoxi and Khitan who supported him to fight.

After thinking about it, Dulan Khan finally realized: Cui Che didn't trust Hu people at all, no matter if they were Turks, Xi people, or Khitan people.
